This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on
nematode pests in agriculture. The first chapter assesses the value
and impact of using integrated pest management (IPM) to combat
nematode pests. It summarises the basic biology and morphology of
the most economically-important nematode pests and reviews
cultural, biological and chemical methods of control. The second
chapter discusses advances in understanding plant root response to
nematode attack. It highlights how nematodes form feeding
structures in host roots and how this behaviour has allowed plants
to evolve new mechanisms of resistance that target this structure
with a toxic response. The third chapter discusses key nematode
pests of wheat, including cereal cyst, root-knot and root-lesion
nematodes. It features research on best practice in detecting and
managing these pests effectively. The fourth chapter summarises
what we know about soil and plant nematodes damaging maize,
including lesion, root-knot and vermiform nematodes. It reviews
research on characteristics, identification and effects which
provide the foundation for effective control. The final chapter
describes the characteristics and control of key nematode pests of
potatoes: potato cyst nematodes, root knot nematodes, root lesion
nematode, potato rot and stem nematodes as well as virus vector
nematodes.
During its short 20 year history High Performance Liquid Chro
matography (HPLC) has won itself a firm place amongst the
instrumental methods of analysis. HPLC has caused a revolution in
biological and pharmaceutical chemistry. Approximately two thirds
of the publications on HPLC are concerned with problems from this
area of life science. Biotechnology, where it is necessary to
isolate substances from complicated mixtures, is likely to give
further impetus to the dissemination of modern liquid chromatog
raphy in columns, particularly on the preparative scale. This book
presents, by means of examples, the application of HPLC to various
fields, as well as fundamental discussions of chromatographic
methods. The quality of the analytical result is decisively
dependent on the qualities of the equipment employed (by Colin,
Guiochon, and Martin). Especially the demands are discussed that
are placed on the components of the instrument including those for
data acquisition and processing. The section on "quantitative analy
sis" (by ABhauer, Ullner) covers besides the principles also the
problems of ensuring the quality of the data in detail. The basic
problems arising by enlarging the sample size to preparative di
mensions and the requirements put on the aparatus are discussed in
the section on "preparative applications" (by Wehrli)."
Detectors for Liquid Chromatography Edited by Edward S. Yeung
Written by an expert in the field, this comprehensive guide
explains the basic principles behind detector response
instrumentation and selected applications. Early chapters cover
absorption detectors for high performance liquid chromatography,
FTIR detection, indirect absorbance detectors, fluorometric
detection, and polarimetric detectors. Coverage continues with
detection based on electrical and electrochemical measurements,
mass spectrometry as an online detector for HPLC, and miscellaneous
methods. 1986 0 471-82169-1 366 pp. Small Bore High Performance
Liquid Chromatography Edited by Raymond R. W. Scott A
state-of-the-art guide that demonstrates how to design, construct,
and pack optimized small bore columns, the center of any
chromatography system. Case examples show the use of these columns
for high resolution, very fast analysis, and special methods for
molecular weight determinations. Applications from a wide range of
industrial and forensic analyses aid in developing sophistication
in a number of useful techniques. The book provides essential
information on topics such as calculating the minimum column
radius, detectors, and molecular diffusion. Includes 92
illustrations and 14 tables to enhance explanations of microbore
HPLC methods. 1984 0 471-80052-X 271 pp. Reversed-Phase High
Performance Liquid Chromatography: Theory, Practice, and Biomedical
Applications Ante M. Krstulovic and Phyllis R. Brown Reversed-phase
liquid chromatography has increased tremendously in popularity over
the past ten years. Estimates show that more than 80 per cent of
all HPLC separations are performed using this technique. This book
covers both theoretical aspects of RPLC and practical information
needed in diverse areas of research; it also contains a review of
the RPLC applications in the biomedical/biochemical field, with
references and collateral readings. Material is presented in a
practical, problem-solving manner and should be immensely useful in
theoretical aspects of RPLC and all areas of scientific research,
particularly the biomedical/biochemical field, where RPLC has made
its largest impact. 1982 0 471-05369-4 296 pp.
